Donald Trump Jr. mocked online for blaming ‘political correctness’ for terrorism in London: “Your dad’s policies released a prison full of ISIS fighters”

British politicians have been accused of politicizing last week’s tragic terrorist attack in London. Some politicians have attempted to shift the blame to their rivals as the general elections grow closer. The elections will be held on December 12.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has blamed the Labour Party, despite pleas from the family of one of the two killed in the knife attack that took place not far from the London Bridge. Johnson cited legislation that was introduced by a previous government more than 10 years ago.

Several U.S., right-wing political figures are now being condemned for using the London Bridge stabbings as a tool to attack progressive politics. Donald Trump Jr. is among them.

Trump Jr. used Twitter on Friday to post about the deadly incident.

“Such a shame. Two more lives needlessly lost because brilliant leaders decided to release a convicted terrorist “with links to Islamic extremist groups” back into civil society. Political correctness will destroy western civilization.”

His tweet was met with major criticism from Neera Tanden, who is the president of the Center for American Progress research and advocacy organization. “Your dad’s policies released a prison full of ISIS fighters,” Tanden wrote. “You may want to sit out a critique.

Twitter user Sonya007 tweeted: “It’s always sad when people die, but let’s be real. Donald Trump has done more to destroy western civilization than the murderer in London: He’s a coward on gun-related mass murders. He left the Kurds to be slaughtered. He’s killing people at the border. He’s killing Ukrainians.”

“Eleven people were just shot in New Orleans … it’s curious how quick Republicans are to comment on a stabbing in London, but not the daily instances of gun violence in the US,” tweeted Twitter user pwthm11.
